Regency Era Fashion Plate - February 1815 Ladies' Monthly Museum
The Mirror of Fashion for February, 1815
Evening Dress - Dress of Crimson Sarsnet, short sleeves of black velvet, slashed with crimson, black fringe round the neck and bottom of the gown, black silk cord round the waist; ends rather long, with tassels. The Stockings are now worn with open clocks; Shoes, colour of the dress. The Hair in full ringlets on each side the face, with a simple wreath of flowers round the head. Necklace and Ear-rings of pearl. This is considered a most elegant and becoming dress; and is admirably adapted for this season of the year; and there can be no doubt will be justly appreciated by all our leading belles of fashion.
Walking Dress - A pelisse of apple green kerseymere, vandyked with satin of the same color, fringed round the bottom; hat and feathers to correspond; boots and gloves of green kid.
